Amsterdam Kolsch Light Ale
This on looked interesting. We wanted to try a lighter bodied full flavor ale. Should be like a Stella with a good hop bite. Ready August 6th.
Add 2 gallons of cold water to the brew pot bring to 160F. Crack grain (Leaving Husks intact) with mortar/pestle or grain mill. Add all grain to muslin bag. Steep grain at 160F for 20 min. Add dry malt extract, Northern Brewer hops; boil for 45 minutes. Add Hallertau Hops and boil for additional 5 minutes. Add Saaz Hops and boil for additional 10 minutes Remove from heat. Cool wort to 80-90F. Add 4 gallons of water to the primary fermenter then cooled wort. Pitch yeast. Ferment until finished gravity has been reached. Boil 1 1/4 priming sugar in 1 qt water cool to 75F. Mix priming solution into finished beer and bottle. This is a single stage brew.
Our original gravity was 1.055. ABV estimate 5.5% - 6.4%
